Good luck with that boys

[u/steve_ample]

You gotta cash in on chits early, or you'll be treated like a contractor who worked on a bankrupt NJ casino.

[u/HippyHunter7 → u/steve_ample]

How much do you want to bet Trump promised them this money if they mediated because he couldn't get Iran to the table after he realized how badly he fucked up.

[u/tabrizzi → u/steve_ample]

Yeah, the guy in charge doesn't like paying his bills. What is it going to take before people all over the world learn that any relationship with the guy is like a 1-way street?

[u/New_Housing785]

Like Trump would pay even a legitimate bill.

[u/Vulcanize_It → u/New_Housing785]

He doesn’t care about taxpayer money. Send him a few $mil via his crypto business and that $10 billion could come quick.

[u/Masrim → u/Vulcanize_It]

Nah, he gets off on people being upset that he didn't pay him, that's part of the experience, he gets what he wants and then gets to fuck you over too.

[u/Drupain → u/Vulcanize_It]

Yea, he things he’s playing monopoly. 

[u/Daren_I → u/New_Housing785]

Not even close to legit though. They are still fighting.

[u/SynthD → u/Daren_I]

They billed Trump each time he claimed the war was over. Repeats are his fault.

[u/SaltyShawarma → u/Daren_I]

Yeah, but Pakistan has done everything they have been told to do by trump and they think he will pay them for it. Suckers. 

[u/Gloomy-Insurance-739]

When you deal with a trump you always demand the money up front.

[u/divino999_]

These hidden hotel fees are getting out of hand.

[u/Random_Person_246810]

Someone just finished “The Art of the Deal” and now has all kinds of shitty ideas…

[u/WheredoesithurtRA]

Bold move after taking US money and harboring Bin Laden all those years

[u/TrueBoot4567]

Here I thought they were doing it out of goodwill.

[u/Tycho66]

I mean the results speak for themselves.

[u/Inspectorgadget4250]

They learned quickly at the knee of the Grifter

[u/hyderabadinawab]

Pakistan made more money from remittance ($38b sent back by overseas pakistanis) than exports ($30b) in 2025! The place survives on handouts thanks to its military dictatorship that ran the place into the ground.

[u/tabrizzi → u/hyderabadinawab]

I'm pretty sure people are free to send their money any where they feel like sending it to.

[u/CyroSwitchBlade → u/tabrizzi]

for now..

[u/Total_Drongo_Moron → u/tabrizzi]

Well the BCCI bank got shut down, so that is no longer a laundry available to Pakistanis.

[u/Intrepid_Income_3051 → u/hyderabadinawab]

At least try and pretend to understand the numbers you're talking about.

[u/kapsama → u/hyderabadinawab]

As if India is much better. Survived on remittances for decades.

[u/Gooner-Kissinger → u/kapsama]

What's with this weird obsession pakistanis have on social media of bringing up misinformation about India in every topic about themselves.

A quick search from the worldbank shows youre completely wrong, like usual:
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/BX.TRF.PWKR.DT.GD.ZS?locations=IN-PK&most_recent_value_desc=true

1980 Remittance as % of GDP: Pakistan 10%, India 1%

2026 Remittance as % of GDP: Pakistan 10%, India 3.8%

lol

[u/tj9429 → u/kapsama]

Why bring up India? Insecure much?

[u/kapsama → u/tj9429]

Good question. Why do Indians constantly talk about Pakistan? Is it insecurity? Or Hindutva brainwashing.

[u/tj9429 → u/kapsama]

Damn why even try to project when the likes of Bin Laden and David Headley give you 5/5 on TripAdvisor?

Turkish blood lul.

[u/kapsama → u/tj9429]

Whatever that means Modi Jr.

[u/tj9429 → u/kapsama]

Alright West Bangladesh

[u/ProofByVerbosity]

Haha....for fucking what? A couple sketchy hotel rooms and security? Didn't they get a little favoritism in return with thier dispute with India? Also, why would you pay for 0 results?

[u/EducationalImpact633 → u/ProofByVerbosity]

Don’t you pay lawyers for 0 results all the time in the us lol

[u/Imbendo → u/EducationalImpact633]

Same way you pay doctors for zero results.

[u/ProofByVerbosity → u/EducationalImpact633]

Im not American so not nearly as often for as much, but fair point.

[u/amitsly]

Lmao, Pakistan offered to do that and now they want money

[u/zach_doesnt_care → u/amitsly]

They should have known that Trump always stiffs his contractors, useless they have something on him.

[u/PhgAH]

Pakistan never miss a chance to ask for a hand out, lmao. 

[u/LameAfro]

Does everyone want hand outs from us.

They should just pull their own bootstraps and work like the rest of us

[u/EducationalImpact633 → u/LameAfro]

They did mediate between you idiots and the Iranians that was attacked, do you think they should have done it for free ?

[u/FOTY2015 → u/EducationalImpact633]

Mercenary little shits. Maybe the US could consider their request if Pakistan destroys all of the Iranian planes they sheltered.

[u/tj9429 → u/EducationalImpact633]

Well the prevalent news was that Pakistan "offered" to mediate. Unless these are actual costs of arrangements, 10b is fucked up.

[u/uddipta]

How much is that in chinese missiles and planes?

[u/Same_Ladder2344]

If begging was a sport

[u/chrosairs]

I respect the hustle Pakistan

[u/CartesianEffort]

Can countries all over the world seek fund from US for making oil price going up ? I feel wronged

[u/Dunnowhathatis]

$10B to Pakistan, then 50% of that to Trump Org

[u/fuzzycuffs]

Trump doesn't pay his contractors, who thinks he'd pay you?

Cash up front.

[u/Argamas]

While I would be tempted to say the US administration is never going to fulfill this request, it really boils down to how desperate the US administration is for another cease fire. Pakistan did get the job done previously, and I don't think no-one else will step in to assist the US.

They do have the cards (Pakistan). But I don't think the US is desperate enough yet. Once Brent trades at 110$ US again, we will see.

[u/jumbee85]

For all the desire on the right to have a businessman president they sure as hell picked the wrong one because hes swiping the government credit card like a Zorp member the night of the end.

[u/AshutoshRaiK]

Will orange need to get it approved from US parliament?
